How did 5.5/11 come?
Gain% = (300 x 100)/5500
= 30000/5500
= 300/55
= 60/11
= 5.45454545....
= 5(5/11) [ after converting 5.4545.. into vulgar fraction]
Note: What is a vulgar fraction?
A fraction in the form of one integer divided by another, non-zero, integer.
A vulgar fraction is one where the numerator (the number on the top) is bigger than the denominator (the number on the bottom). More pedantically, the absolute value of the numerator is bigger than the absolute value of the denominator.
I hope you understand. Have a nice day!

Please solve and explain to this question.
Q.1) A carpenter bought an old table at Rs 480 and spent 20% of it on repairing. If he wants to make a profit of Rs 144 then what percentage should be added in purchase price?

20% of 480 i.e cost price is 96.
total cp = 480+96 = 576
to make a profit of 144 the selling price should be
576+144 = 720
if purchase price u meant is the COST PRICE..its hard to say
how would u make profit if u increase your costs investment

20% of 480 = 480*20/100 i.e. Rs.96
total c.p. = 480+96 i.e. 576
profit 144 i.e. s.p. = c.p.+ profit
= 576 + 144
= 720

Purchase price = 480
144/480 =3/10 ie 30%
already he spended 20%
now he needs to add 30%
so totally 50%
% increase from puchase price
= (240/480)*100
=50%

20% of 480 = 480*20/100 i.e. Rs.96
total c.p. = 480+96 i.e. 576
the question is to make a profit of Rs144 into%.
so,profit/cp*100
= 144/576*100
=25%
aamit, this is your right answer.

If a man buys 1 lt of milk for Rs.12 and mixes it with 20% water and sells it for Rs.15, then what is the percentage of gain? Please solve this.
Pipe A can fill a tank in 30 mins and Pipe B can fill it in 28 mins. If 3/4th of the tank is filled by Pipe B alone and both are opened, how much time is required by both the pipes to fill the tank completely.

Which one is correct? either 25% or 50%? we have to calculate profit on cost price, isn't it?

@ sam
900%
S.P-C.P= Gain
Gain %= Gain/C.P*100

How did 5.5/11 come?
ANS: Gain% = (300 x 100)/5500
= 30000/5500
= 300/55
= 60/11
NOW dont calculate ans in decimal instead get ans. in the form of quotient remainder and divisor
Here QUOTIENT=5
REMAINDER=5
DIVISOR=11
SO V GET 5(5/11)

It is simplification process.
[(11*5)+5]/11=60/11.

Total cost= 4800+700=5500
and selling price= 5800
so profit= 300
and profit% = 300/5500*100 = 5(5/11)
